Do you have customers residing in California? If so, you need to prepare yourself for the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) going into effect in January 2020. CCPA mandates data privacy protection for California consumers much like GDPR. Personal information for consumers, households, and devices is covered and it is broadly applied. It’s not just names and addresses or personal identifiers like driver’s license and social security number but includes: geolocation data; records of personal property; products or services purchased, obtained, or even considered for purchase; browsing history; education information; professional information; and more. And you need to know where all that information is.
In order to ensure compliance, it’s time to put data profiling to work! You need rapid insight into your data sources whether on traditional platforms or in your data lake, and you need to find the outliers, not just cursory review of data samples, that help you ensure you’ve identified all the places this information has spread to as the information has been copied, reported, and delivered from central data stores.
View this webinar on-demand where we talk through some of the salient points of CCPA and show you how to leverage Trillium Discovery to profile, assess, and evaluate the data sources to find this data at risk.

Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

New Code
• D4212 gingivectomy or gingivoplasty to allow access for restorative
procedure, per tooth
Revised Codes
• D4210 gingivectomy or gingivoplasty – four or more contiguous teeth
or tooth bounded spaces per quadrant
Involves the excision of the soft tissue wall of the periodontal pocket by either an
external or an internal bevel. It is performed to eliminate suprabony pockets after
adequate initial preparation, to allow access for restorative dentistry in the
presence of suprabony pockets, or to restore normal architecture when gingival
enlargements or asymmetrical or unaesthetic topography is evident with normal
bony configuration.
• D4211 gingivectomy or gingivoplasty – one to three contiguous teeth or
tooth bounded spaces per quadrant
[Same revision as 4210 – removed prescriptive info]
Periodontics – Other Revised Codes
• D4260 osseous surgery (including flap entry and
closure) – four or more contiguous teeth or tooth
bounded spaces per quadrant …
This procedure modifies the bony support of the teeth by
reshaping the alveolar process to achieve a more
physiologic form. This may must include the removal of
supporting bone (ostectomy) and/ or non‐supporting bone
(osteoplasty). Other procedures may be required
concurrent to D4260 and should be reported using their
own unique codes.
22. 8/3/2013
22
Periodontics – Other Revised Codes
• D4261 osseous surgery (including flap entry and
closure) – one to three contiguous teeth or tooth
bounded spaces per quadrant
This procedure modifies the bony support of the teeth by
reshaping the alveolar process to achieve a more
physiologic form. This may must include the removal of
supporting bone (ostectomy) and/or non‐supporting bone
(osteoplasty). Other procedures may be required
concurrent to D4261 and should be reported using their
own unique codes.
Periodontics – Other Revised Codes
• D4266 guided tissue regeneration – resorbable barrier, per
site
This procedure does not include flap entry and closure, or, when indicated, wound
debridement, osseous contouring, bone replacement grafts, and placement of biologic
materials to aid in osseous regeneration. This procedure can be used for periodontal
and peri‐implant defects.
A membrane is placed over the root surfaces or defect area following surgical
exposure and debridement. The mucoperiosteal flaps are then adapted over the
membrane and sutured. The membrane is placed to exclude epithelium and gingival
connective tissue from the healing wound. This procedure may require subsequent
surgical procedures to correct the gingival contours. Guided tissue regeneration may
also be carried out in conjunction with bone replacement grafts or to correct
deformities resulting from inadequate faciolingual bone width in an edentulous area.
When guided tissue regeneration is used in association with a tooth, each site on a
specific tooth should be reported separately. Other separate procedures may be
required concurrent to D4266 and should be reported using their own unique codes.
23. 8/3/2013
23
Periodontics – Other Revised Codes
• D4267 guided tissue regeneration – non‐resorbable barrier,
per site (includes membrane removal)
This procedure does not include flap entry and closure, or, when indicated,
wound debridement, osseous contouring, bone replacement grafts, and
placement of biologic materials to aid in osseous regeneration.
This procedure is used to regenerate lost or injured periodontal tissue by directing
differential tissue responses. A membrane is placed over the root surfaces or defect
area following surgical exposure and debridement. The mucoperiosteal flaps are then
adapted over the membrane and sutured. This procedure does not include flap entry
and closure, wound debridement, osseous contouring, bone replacement grafts, or
the placement of biologic materials to aid in osseous tissue regeneration. The
membrane is placed to exclude epithelium and gingival connective tissue from the
healing wound. This procedure requires subsequent surgical procedures to remove
the membrane and/or to correct the gingival contours. Guided tissue regeneration
may be used in conjunction with bone replacement grafts or to correct deformities
resulting from inadequate faciolingual bone width in an edentulous area. When
guided tissue regeneration is used in association with a tooth, each site on a specific
tooth should be reported separately with this code. When no tooth is present, each
site should be reported separately. Other separate procedures may be reported
concurrent to D4267 and should be reported using their own unique codes.
Periodontics – Other Revised Codes
• D4381 localized delivery of antimicrobial agents via
a controlled release vehicle into diseased crevicular
tissue, per tooth, by report
FDA approved subgingival delivery devices containing antimicrobial
medication(s) are inserted into periodontal pockets to suppress the
pathogenic microbiota. These devices slowly release the
pharmacological agents so they can remain at the intended site of
action in a therapeutic concentration for a sufficient length of time.
